Summary

Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi delves into verses 60 till 82 of Surat Al-Kahf that teach us about the wisdom and benefits from the story of Musa and Khidr. Allah SWT relates the story of Musa & Khidr in Surat Al-Kahf - two noble Prophets of Allah sent to different nations. This story is  a story that deals with the Fitnah of knowledge. Their journey of knowledge is replete with lessons for us to reflect, comprehend and decipher the greatness of the Wisdom of Allah. We are also made aware of the fact that Khidr assured Musa AS that he did not perform any of the deeds at his free will, but it was the command of Allah that he followed. And, this was the mystery that Musa AS could not bear patiently.  What was the mystery? Listen intently and get captivated by this intriguing story.

This audio is brought to you by Muslim Central.com. Today we're citing Suritel Kahef and Suritel Kahef I have given a detailed

0:14.4

Tafseer I think two years ago at this very place. However there's some

0:18.6

benefit and reminder to go over one particular Surah. Of course the whole

0:22.2

Surah and the whole stories in it are beneficial.

0:25.0

But I thought that today, in Shahala, will go over one of the stories in Suuet al-Kahaf, which is a very profound story that we can all benefit from.

Musa and Kidar.

Now, Kidar is not mentioned by name in the Quran.

0:39.1

He is mentioned by name in Hadith literature.

0:41.5

And Kidar has become the object of a lot of folklore and not a lot of legend and a lot of superstition and myth and the fact of the matter is that all of this folklore and he's

0:55.0

he's simply not Islamic.

0:53.0

Khedd was a prophet like the other prophets and he lived and he died.

0:56.6

As for this notion that he's still alive and he's visiting people, this is something that

1:11.8

So Musa traveled in the world to a place we do not know and he studied with

1:16.1

Kidar al-A-His-Salam. And the story of Kidl is given in the Quran and it is of great benefit to all of us because we learn from the story of

1:25.6

Kidar and Musa that whatever happens in our lives happens for a wisdom even if we don't see the wisdom, we will benefit from that very
